As of 2011, the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER missions have been the only missions that have made close observations of Mercury. MESSENGER made a flyby of Mercury on 14 January 2008, to further investigate the observations made by Mariner 10 in 1975.[2] A third mission to Mercury, BepiColombo, is to include two probes. BepiColombo is a joint mission between Japan and the European Space Agency. MESSENGER and BepiColombo are intended to gather complementary data to help scientists understand many of the mysteries discovered by Mariner 10's flybys.

What satellites or robots have explored Mercury?

NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft and the European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission are the main spacecraft that have explored Mercury. MESSENGER orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015, providing detailed data and images of the planet. BepiColombo, a joint mission between ESA and JAXA, was launched in 2018 and is in the process of studying Mercury's surface and magnetic field.


What is names of the robots and satellites on mercury?

The primary spacecraft that have explored Mercury are NASA's Mariner 10 and MESSENGER. Mariner 10 flew by the planet three times in the 1970s, while MESSENGER orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015, providing extensive data about its surface and environment. There are currently no robots on the surface of Mercury, and no satellites are currently in orbit since MESSENGER's mission concluded.
